Go Speed Lego!

Ran across this over at Superhero Hype:

LEGO Group today announced an agreement with Warner Bros. Consumer Products (WBCP) to secure construction toy rights for the upcoming Speed Racer, the live action feature film adaptation of the classic TV series created by anime pioneer Tatsuo Yoshida.

Under the agreement, LEGO Group will produce four constructible racing playsets under its LEGO Racers brand, scheduled to race onto store shelves in April 2008, and ranging in price from $19.99 to $59.99 USD. Builders and collectors alike will appreciate the inclusion of multiple authentic racers in each set for head-to-head racing and building fun. Many of the Speed Racer characters also will come to life in LEGO minifigure form, including Speed, Racer X, Trixie, Spritle, Chim-Chim, Mom and Pops Racer, Taejo Togokhan, Snake Oiler, Gray Ghost and Cruncher Block.

Never watched Speed Racer growing up, but it's cartoons and Legos, so I'm kinda obligated to blog about it.

Bugs Bunny on Weekend Edition

Nice little thing about Bugs Bunny yesterday on NPR. It's about six minutes or so and well worth a listen.

Enjoy!

Last Night's Simpsons Was Amazing!

...but the clip below is not that episode. (It does however include the priceless "Maus is in the house!"

You know, I'd really be for Hulu if I could get episodes quicker and play them where and how I want.

Still the video quality is really good and its free...

Anyway, enjoy a recent (not as good as last night's) episode of The Simpsons.

No! NO! It's too early!!!

...for people to begin hating my Magoo review!

Until I read your slam I had no idea Tiny Tim was Gerald McBoing-Boing. I was far too young for Gerald. If ever I noticed a resemblance in later years I just figured it was UPA stylization.

OK, not so hateful. In fact, kinda bland. But still, people are looking for this damn movie already?! AAAUUUGGGHHH!!!

My Evil Twin Doesn't Know How To Feel About This

Saw this at the grocery store yesterday:

I'm OK with the whole adolescent male power fantasy thing, but soap opera?! Egad!

Spider-Pig!

I think one of my favorite bits from The Simpsons Movie was the Spider-Pig scene:

And apparently other people like it too. Check out this mock trailer:

Now in German!

BTW, if you haven't gotten the Spider-Pig theme from iTunes yet, you're only hurting yourself. You could buy the CD I guess too. The packaging alone is worth it:

OK, enough Spider-Pig. But I guarantee you're gonna be singing this all day now!

Web Ballooning

"Surround yourself with good people and then let them work."

That's one of those trite phrases that gets repeated over and over again at management seminars and in books and stuff. The thing is, though, it sounds tired because, as often as it gets trotted out, it's true.

I'm lucky to have have surrounded the Andertoons business with outstanding folks on all ends, and my web guy is no exception.

Go here and watch the video and you'll see why I'm so glad to have him working with me!
